A dry solid scintillator counting composition for the detection of radiative substances in a liquid comprises a mixture of fluor particles and a binder bonding the particles into a coherent structure, the weight amount of the fluor being sufficiently greater than the weight amount of the binder to render the structure sufficiently porous between the disposed particles of fluor to provide transport of a saturating amount of liquid throughout at least 50% of the volume of the composition.

Solid scintillator counting compositions

Scintillation counting compositions are described, comprising polymeric particles derived from a latex and loaded with at least one uniformly dispersed hydrophobic fluor so as to permit detection of low-energy radiation. Scintillation counting elements comprising a substrate coated with a dried layer of the above-described scintillation counting compositions are also described.
